ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Frosby Bouncy Castle holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cursive Writing Wizard has 792 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Frosby Bouncy Castle's written reviews are positive against 89% of Cursive Writing Wizard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Frosby Bouncy Castle ships an update every 3 months, Cursive Writing Wizard every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
